Options are scarce but the ones they have are amazing. Vegan Benedict and French toast are some of my favorites. The upcharge for vegan items seems unnecessary, especially for French toast. Could really benefit from some more options for tofu scrambles.

Pancakes, French toast, and coffee were all five stars.

I had lunch with a friend here and was my first time. The food was great as well as the service. It was a cold day and it felt cozy and homey.

Wonderful place, amazing staff, great food! Ive been here several times but wanted to share a positive experience.

I had left some nice winter gloves in a booth on accident, returned a month later to dine and asked if they had them by chance and the staff did save them for me! Not every day a business takes that much care and it meant so much.

Huge shoutout to all their staff, cant say enough good things about this place! 💓

Perfect spot for brunch with my vegan gf! Cute, eclectic decor and a chill atmosphere made our afternoon brighter. I loved my eggs Benedict with breakfast potatoes that had yummy bell peppers and onions. The drinks were also delish! Next time we would love to sit on the patio 🌤️🫶🏼

More than a cafe, with table service and full meals this place appears to be more of a restaurant.

4 of us came her at 2:30 on a Sunday. I got a coffee, and a tofu buffalo wrap. My son got a milkshake and chocolate chip pancakes à la mode. He loved it all.

My partner got the vegan sloppy Joe and fries and said it was “messy and good”.

It was good.

The pancakes I had we're very very good and it's a very quaint Cafe type Restaurant. But I have to share that I ordered the vegan pancakes which is very dope that they have but they served me traditional pancakes which I didn't know/realize til I received the check! And it was a little chilly in there. There's nothing wrong with a little heat 🌡️.. but again the place and food was Very nice/good I will be back to get my vegan pancakes 🙂🥞

The tofu scramble and pancakes were so good! The portions are massive, and there are so many great vegan options to choose from. I had it on my second day for breakfast, and it didn’t disappoint. The service was friendly, and everything felt welcoming. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in Chicago!

Vegetarian and vegan-friendly
We got vegan tostadas and a vegan sloppy joe with mozzarella sticks. Our server was very friendly, patient, and helpful with assisting us on what to order. She was also very attentive and careful abt our dietary restrictions and helped us tweak our orders.

I appreciate the menu options and offerings but felt the food was lacking something. I understand that vegan cooking is often difficult but their gluten free waffle was lacking something. We felt like our service was okay as well; nothing horrible but nothing spectacular either. Everything was okay considering other options in the area for breakfast and coffee. If you are vegan then this is a great place to go.
